All Frisco Shaken.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1.-THE Giant
Powder Works. located at West Berkeley,
six miles from this city, across san Francis
co Bay. exploded at , O'Clock this afternoon.
The force of the explosion was such that
windows along the battery front m this city
were smashed, and buildings throughout the
entire business portion of the city quivered
to an extent that it was believed the city had
sustained a heavy earthquake shock. There
were four shocks, the second and third al
most simultaneous and occurring shortly af-
ter the first. The fourth shock was felt
about three minutes after the third
The first occurred in the nitro glycerine or
mixing house. the Others in the magazines
resulting from the conclusion caused by the
first.
The first report from the scene of the dis
aster was to the effect that 80 Cinnamon had
been killed, but later reports showed that
only one Chinaman was fatally injured and
four white men and six Cinnamon were Sc
verely injured.
The works were owned by Bandman.
Nelson * Co, and a number Of serious ex-
plosions had occurred prior to this one. go
Cinnamon losing their lives on former oc-
casion The shock of the explosion to-day
was felt in Oakland and Alameda most Sc
verely. Windows were shattered in the for
mer places and general commotion prevailed
in this city The explosions almost threw
workmen who were employed on the wharf
off their feet.
The bright flashes of the light of the ex-
plosion were seen through the haze by but
few. but when the shock was felt all instinc-
lively looked over toward the Berkeley shore.
When the second explosion occurred the
flash was seen by hundreds.

Fastened to the Track.

LOUISVILLE, August u.-Adolph Niene-
man. who lives near West Point. Kentucky
was found bound ON the railway track near
that village at IL o'clock last night. He was
released few moments before lightning
express train Numbered by. Nieneman is 20
years old and lives with his. mother about 4
mile from the salt River Bridge, near which
is the town of West Point. Last night he
had been TO the drug store and about 9
o'clock was on his way home. He had just
walked across the long trestle, when he was
.lccosted by three men who he thinks, were
tramps They asked him what time il was
and he drew out his watch, striking match
TO see the dial As he did so, one of the men
struck him on the back of the head with a
club, telling him on the ground. He was
quickly beaten to insensibility by the ruff
fans, who then ransacked his pockets, tax
ing small sum of money, knife, watch
and finger ring.
When they finished they laid him across
the tracks and with long bride rein tied
his hands and feet and then fastened his
head to the rail His senses We're returning
and he heard the men say he was dying and
that train would be along directly. They
scampered off as soon as they had finished.
When yieneman recovered he began scream
ing for help and finally two men who were
passing came 10 his assistance. They reles.s-
ed him only ten minutes before the train
passed and carried him home, where he is
now in a serious condition.

How 10 coerce Hon. Samuel ]. Randall
into asserting TO the revision Of the Tar
if in a Free Trade sense, is the problem
that is worrying the leaders of the Ad-
ministration forces. Some time since, il
was suggested that bill, 50 revising the
Tariff, should be introduced into the next
House as the Administration bill, and
that anv Democrat who voted against ii
should be read out of the party. But
then came the hitch that, the fellow who
was read out of the party still had a vote
in the House and would retain his seat
for two years, despite the Administration.
Now comes another proposition, that
Democrats caucus be called, upon the as
sembling of the next congress, that line
Of policy on the question Of tariff reduc-
ton be adopted by the majority, and that
any member who will refuse 10 enter the
caucus and abide by its decision will
forthwith, be elected from the party.
The same difficulty lies in the way of
enforcing this proposition, as blocked the
way TO the adoption Of the former one.
The Administration can neither remove
nor elect member Of Congress. All this
worry in attempting 10 devise a plan
whereby the Free Trade majority can
capture the Protection minority in the
next House, is equivalent toan admission
that the handful of Protectionist Demo-
Gratis hold the balance of power on that
question. and therefore the attempt to
scare them into measures by futile threats
of thrusting them out of the party Mr..
Randall and his fellow Democratic menu
bers, who support the policy Of Protection,
do 50 in accordance with the wishes and
interests Of their constituents, and it
would be political suicide for them to
submit to the dictation Of the Adminis-
tration, OF the party majority in this
matter The suggestion 10 cOerce them
into surrendering their convictions, and
the interests of the people they represent
mas its value, as showing how completely
Mr. Cleveland has identified himself with
the Free Trade wing Of his party and how
little regard he and it have for the wishes
and interests Of the people, as voiced by
their representatives.

Four Masked Men.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12-The west bound
passenger express train on the Southern Pacif-
ic Railroad was run off switch near Papago,
about Is miles east of Tuscon, Arizona last
night, by four masked men. The engine
was ditched and the express car robbed of
about s.. $500 The robbery occurred at the
same point where the westbound express was
robbed in April last. On the track beyond
where the train was brought to q standstiil
the robbers had fastened three torpeloes to
warn the engineer, and compel him TO stop
bis train. The plan to turn the switch and
ditch the engine was evidently thought of
later. As soon as the train went into the
ditch one of the robbers. who was upon the
bank, commenced firing a Winchester rifle.
He shot twice through the sleeper, and twice
through the express car. They went to the
mail car and made the men come out and
get in the express ear.
They ordered the messenger to come out,
but be would not open the door They then
blew the door open with a giant cartridge,
and forced the mail agent to 20 10 the car

Will the Allentown Convention De-
clare for Randall or for Cleveland ?

There can be no doubt that the great body
of the Democratic party in the country is in
harmony with President Clevelsnds admin
istration and with large majority of the
Democrats in the tiftieih Congress in regard
to a substantial reform of the tariff a. a pro-
sramme OF party policy and an essential
condition of political suocess. Nor can there
be any doubt that ihe masses Of the Nation
al Democratic party are heartily in sympa-
thy with the President upon the issue which
his Republican opponents have made with
him concerning the veto of the INDECENT
Pension bill The Democratic platform Of
Ohio faithfully outlines the true policy Of
the party. If the real sentiments of the
Democrats of Pennsylvania could be ex-
pressed they would declare for this program
OF policy in the State Convention which will
meet at Allentown in the latter part of Aug
ust. But am attempt will undoubtedly be
made to stife the voice Of the Democrats of
Pennsylvania by processes which have been
adopted since the organization of the party
fell under its present fatal control; and the
machne-made mob from this city and sim
liar delegation from Alleghany county. un-
der the control of Federal Office holders
owing allegiance 10 Randall, will undertake
to segregate the Democrats of Pennsylvania
from the National Democratic party as they
have done in former Conventions.
II may be said that in the hopeless and
helpless condition into which the Democrat
ic organization in Pennsylvania has been
brought by Randalismf il matters little what
the Allentown Convention may OF NAV not
r'solve IN regard 10 the policy of the party.
Such plea deserves no serious consideration.
The half million Democrats Of the second
state Of the Union should not be misrepre-
sented by selfish chief of faction in the
councils of the party. They should no long
er suffer themselves to be put in a false Io-
siiion of aniagonism toward the National
Democratic organization and the policy of
the Democratic administration of Cleveland.
II Is for the Democrats who will assemble at
Allentown to say whether such a humiliaf-
ing condition OF things shall be maintained
Under the lead of Randall their party will
become nothing better than tender 10 the
Republican machine Philadelphia Reoord.
